The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has disowned a viral notice directing applicants who were not shortlisted or did not receive invitation messages for its 2026 recruitment exercise to report to the nearest FRSC camp for verification.

The Corps, in a statement published on its official X handle on Sunday, described the circulating notice as fake and unauthorised and urged applicants to disregard it.

According to the FRSC, the fraudulent notice instructed affected applicants to report to the nearest FRSC camp for verification on or before September 25, 2026.

It said, “The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has categorically disowned a viral notice circulating on social media directing applicants who were not shortlisted or did not receive invitation messages to report to the nearest FRSC camp for verification on or before 25 September 2026. The notice is fake, unauthorised and should be disregarded.”

The Corps clarified that it had not issued such a directive and advised applicants not to visit any FRSC office, camp or training institution based on the information contained in the fake notice.

“The public is advised to rely only on official FRSC communication channels for information concerning the 2026 recruitment exercise,” it said.

FRSC commenced its 2026 nationwide recruitment exercise in July, inviting qualified Nigerians to apply for positions across three cadres.

The positions include the Officer Cadre, covering roles such as Superintendent Route Commander, Route Commander/Deputy Route Commander and Assistant Route Commander; the Marshal Inspectorate Cadre; and the Road Marshal Assistant Cadre.

The recruitment portal currently indicates that applications have closed and that existing applicants will be contacted regarding subsequent stages of the process.

The Corps also warned applicants against making payments, disclosing personal information or clicking links shared by unauthorised individuals claiming to facilitate recruitment.

It said individuals found exploiting the recruitment exercise to deceive or defraud members of the public would be reported to the appropriate law-enforcement authorities.

The FRSC urged applicants and other members of the public to disregard the fraudulent notice and rely only on verified communication from the Corps to avoid falling victim to recruitment scams.
